The City Lyrics

[Intro: Teddy]
The traffic, traffic got the
The traffic got the city slow-mo

[Chorus: Teddy & Indy]
The traffic got the city slow-mo
Traffic got the city slow-mo
Traffic got the city slow-mo
I'm tryna get to where I need to go
The traffic got the city slow-mo (The traffic got the city slow)
Traffic got the city slow-mo (It's moving slow)
Traffic got the city slow-mo (It's moving slow)
(Yeah-yeah, city)
I'm tryna get to where I need to go
(Alright, yeah)

[Verse 1: Indy]
The traffic got the city moving slow-mo
'Member when we fell in love in SoHo?
It was just the, the two of us, but it was nothing
Well maybe it was something, I don't know, I couldn't judge it
Thinkin' back on how I felt, that shit is just a blur
And maybe it was love but, shit, that's just a word
And you was insecure, I could tell from how you conversate
That was just my observate
Know you wanted love but you wanted it the honest way
Yeah-yeah, and yeah I got it, babe
Tryna figure out what was running through your mind
Maybe it's a name, I'm just hoping that it's mine
I was tryna fall in love, but shit, you needed time, what's up?
And I've been tryna figure out what you been doin'
Asking me the same but the answer always "music"
Telling you about my plans and you said that I could do it
Baby it was love and I knew it
What's up, it's like
[Chorus: Teddy]
The traffic got the city slow-mo
Traffic got the city slow-mo
Traffic got the city slow-mo
I'm tryna get to where I need to go
The traffic got the city slow-mo (The traffic got the city slow)
Traffic got the city slow-mo (It's moving slow)
Traffic got the city slow-mo (It's moving slow)
I'm tryna get to where I need to go

[Verse 2: Indy]
Yeah, and now my city moving quicker
Drown myself in liquor 'cause you ain't in the picture
I'm on the next flight out, living through the mic now
Fans goin' crazy when the lights out
Yeah, I still think about what you said
Now we barely talk, it's like we got a couple loose ends
Wanna get to fixing shit and giving you my two cents
I'm gettin' nerves from every text that you send
Now we falling off a little, we falling off a little
You say you better off as single
I think we need a couple nights alone
Don't think that there's right or wrong
Can't wait 'til this flight go home
Promise I ain't hiding what's inside my phone
Yeah-yeah, so let this taxi drive
I'm hoping that you passing by
I think this traffic got me jaded, I just need some conversation
I just hope I cross your mind every time you gettin' faded
[Chorus: Teddy]
The traffic got the city slow-mo
Traffic got the city slow-mo
Traffic got the city slow-mo
I'm tryna get to where I need to go
The traffic got the city slow-mo (The traffic got the city slow)
Traffic got the city slow-mo (It's moving slow)
Traffic got the city slow-mo (It's moving slow)
I'm tryna get to where I need to go

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
